So could I just buy a harddrive enclosure and throw the desktop harddrive into it, then plug it into my laptop? And do file transfer that way?
As an update after unplugging everything except keyboard. I tried to reboot again and I get a new error message...

<windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
please reinstall a copy of the above file

Yes, you can just toss the existing drive into an enclosure and transfer everything, depending on how much space you have on your laptop.
Also to fix that would require either being able to chkdsk your system or just reinstalling windows.
Looks like your hdd had a problem with the file system and now certain parts are corrupt.
